REVISED DATE: Hwy 67 resurfacing project near Granite Falls begins August 8
Traffic will be detoured
WILLMAR, Minn. – Motorists will encounter a detour on Hwy 67 from Hwy 23 to the Yellow Medicine River Bridge beginning Monday, August 8, as crews resurface the road.
The 8-mile project requires a detour using Hwy 23, Hwy 274 and Yellow Medicine County Road 18. Original start date of August 3 was changed due to weather delays on another project.
When the project is complete, motorists will experience a smoother, safer road.
Central Specialties is the prime contractor for the $2.6 million project, which is scheduled for completion in late October, weather permitting. Funding for the project is provided by the Upper Sioux Community.
During construction and road maintenance work, the Minnesota Department of Transportation urges drivers to:
- Stay alert, expect the unexpected. Be patient.
- Never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
- Plan ahead and expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
- Don’t use cell phones while driving.
- Remember text messaging while driving is illegal.
- Follow posted speed limits; fines double in work zones.
